<p>It used to be if I targeted an enemy, or maybe even just did mouse over, I'd see a red underline if the enemy was going to agro on me if I got near it. This was especially good if I was using invisible, because I could tell who saw through invis and who didn't it. For the last two months or so, this hasn't been working for me and I can't figure out what I did to stop the red line from showing. </p><p>Does anyone know what options control this feature? </p><p>Thank you. </p><p>BTW, I posted this question in a different thread, but got no answer. Maybe my subject line was misleading or I didn't explain the problem enough. Sorry for the repeat post, but I really need help. </p>

I've never had a red underline to signify aggro, but I've always had a red outline around the mob's name. This remains true even while invis.

Do you know what option controls this?

I found out that it is a part of the text shadow. When I disabled that as an experiment to improve performance (a suggestion I got from a post on these forums) it also disabled my ability to tell aggro mobs from non-aggro. None of them had the red outline but they were still happy to take a bite out of me. After I re-enabled the text shadow my aggro outlines returned. In fact, looking back at the thread now, I see that you also tried the same experiment. The original topic was <a href="http://forums.station.sony.com/eq2/posts/list.m?topic_id=376406" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">How in the world can a chat window be so unoptimized?</a>. Undo the changes suggested in that thread and you'll get your aggro outline back.

I'd never have related this problem to that. Thank you very much. </p><p>Maybe you should post in that thread about your discovery.
